Friday, July 17, 2009
By Kathryn Taubert
Funerals are REALLY big here. I've been to three; two on the same day. Seems like the entire region turns out. It's not merely a memorial, it's a real celebration.
When I die I want a memorial like the Ewe's. A prominent Christian denomination hosted one ceremony in the sanctuary. Another denomination hosted theirs outside.
While both had music and dancing, the former was more subdued, with dancing somewhat restrained, if you can call a singing Conga line up the center aisle restrained. Drums played all night and day. If the drummers don't play in shifts, they must be just short of Herculean, if not all the way over the top. We're talking double-time, two handed, non-stop congas. In the middle of the night I could hear them in the distance. I wondered if that's what the "lost" Livingstone heard, and if so, did it put as much fear into his heart as they did delight in mine? I felt as though I were in his Africa, before life got so complicated.
People dress up, ministers preach long, energetic sermons, dancing is spontaneous, singing joyful, and everybody participates. There are the usual, heartfelt eulogies and prayers. Meanwhile there's a street party in town, feasting and vendors with beads and food and more. I pooped out pretty quickly and it's still going on after 24 hours. Word has it, there's another ceremony for the one of the deceased during the week.
Anything is an excuse for kids to make music. Sitting on the porch with my notebook computer, I'm soon surrounded by a flock of smiling little kids.
My computer and digital camera are kid-magnets. We draw on the computer, take photos and movies, and watch them laugh and point at themselves and each other. This afternoon, I did a few "bongo moves" on a wooden bench to see what would happen. Without hesitation, one little guy ran to retrieve two small buckets, upended them and the party started. Singing, dancing, drumming: it's fundamental.
Kids here grow up with music instead of TV. I think they have the better end of the deal, frankly. I've heard some kids I'd hire for a gig in a minute.
And when was the last time you didn't have to tell your kids to do chores?
These are the most well-disciplined kids I've ever seen. Every day, like clockwork, they are sweeping the overnight goat residue off the front stoop, carrying water and wood, starting the cooking fire, ironing (with an old FLAT IRON heated on cooking stones). There's a key to the outhouse hanging inside the house. Returning it, I handed it to a five year old on his way out the door whom I assumed wanted it. Without a word, he took it, turning obediently around and putting it back in its rightful place. Adults rule around Kloe, and the kids don't seem to mind at all!
Three-year-olds squatting next to buckets of cold water and covered with soap are a frequent sight. Alone they perform their ablutions, without wheedling or help. Little tiny people covered in suds next to buckets almost as big as they are, I'd love a photograph, but that would be a little too invasive. They squat because they're too little to lift the bucket. They end up spotless anyway.
Road signs. I have just got to get the tro-tro to stop long enough (or at least slow down) to take photos. My favorite so far: "Machetes: Crocodile Tested!"
And speaking of "tro-tros": any small vehicle with an engine that mostly works and can be routinely stuffed with as many passengers as possible qualifies. Imagine seven people in a Datsun the size of a shoebox, or a "TaTa" (a small car whose origins I don't yet know, but the name of which is altogether too reminiscent of American slang for a prominent body part). I get the connection with "Yo", ("Ok" in Ewe), but the other eludes me.
Out of deference, my companions initially put me in the front seat. Now we know each other well enough so I qualify as just another sardine. For one cedi (about 70 cents), I ride 15 kilometers (about 9 miles) to the Ho office. I had to give up seat belts. They either don't work, or are covered with so much red dirt that the driver can't clean them. In the backseat, I haven't found belts because it would be most indelicate to look with that many laps back there alongside mine. So, I say a silent prayer that it's not my time yet, and try to avoid the very large road signs admonishing drivers to SLOW DOWN AND LIVE!
Slowing down isn't part of the driving culture. Beeping is. Some drivers beep for the sake of beeping, methinks. They beep at everyone and everything warning we're coming (fast). Sometimes they beep when nobody is there.
I guess after a while not beeping causes withdrawal. Some of these guys would put a New York cabbie to shame.
I met the Queen Mother, Chief Ayipe's wife, the other day, at the Ho apartment where she sometimes stays. She's a joyful person of humor and wit, and a down-to-earth attitude one wouldn't expect from a Queen. We hit it off immediately. You know how it is when you meet someone you "just know"? Well, Mama Ayipe and I could be good friends in another life. The fact that she said she might come see me in Florida delighted me. I gave her my card. I hope she keeps it. We took photos. She's much prettier than I am, dressed in traditional Ewe finery and me in baggy cotton "safari" clothes. It was OK by her. It's good to be Queen.
I don't know when I'll run out of things to write about. Naples Daily News editors are, by now, tearing their hair out at the length of these things. I was pretty good at keeping 'em to 400 or so words, BEFORE I got here. Now my head is so full of images and words. I feel like a brakeless, overloaded tro-tro careering down the slippery slopes of synonym and simile, straight off the metaphorical cliff into bottomless verbosity. In a culture medium like this, it's a given.

English classy names
I forget about this character's name until today so I need some ideas SOS
It's an old man(70-75) with a mental illness. He was born in Chelsea, London but moved to the country after making a fortune in town. He was very rich years ago but his son almost wasted all the money because he(Adam) doesn't work and the old man is ill. This man is Ashton's uncle BTW.
I was thinking to give him a stereotypically British-sounding classic name and all the youth who disrespect him to call him by nickname. Ideas are Norvin nn Vin or Raymond nn Ray but I am not 100% sure.
Any similar a bit "old-man" suggestions appreciated, thanksVictoria
Each magician has his own power sign...

I think I like Raymond nn Ray. It sounds interesting, and maybe there can be some young people that call him by his given name, and I think one of them can be a sister of Laura's, and her name is Alexandra nn Alex. I picture her to be like me, but she doesn't have to. It would be nice if she was, though.

Do You Belong To The Group?
I have often heard Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12 step group members say they belonged to this or that group and began to wonder about what is really entailed in belonging to an AA group.
Tradition 1 suggests our common welfare should come first, personal recovery depends upon AA unity. Sure, we are members of AA when we say so, no one can bar us, but really, does membership of an AA group mean as much to us as it should?
I would be very worried if I could feel nothing and did nothing for my group. Life meant nothing to me before I came to AA I wished I were dead. Life was hell on earth and I could find no way out. A miracle happened and I discovered a way out of it with a simple programme of living that enabled me to change my life-style.
For some time I was not a member of a group as one did not exist in the area. Eventually another alkie as desperate as myself, came along and our group conscience was born.
I think the group must be alive and vital, not only a one night a week affair. There is great benefit in keeping contact with other members, we help each other to stay sober.
Our programme is not a lonely one; it's a programme we live; it's an action programme, not as we sometimes hear said, a selfish programme. Can you see anything selfish in the Steps? Made amends to people, living a new life that gives us a spiritual awakening, trying to tell others about it and living by these principles in all our dealings, selfish you think? Never.
Being a member of a group carries great responsibilities, no matter whether one is young or old in AA. It's lives that are at stake, yours and mine.
I do not believe that I can get more out of life than I put into it and the same applies to AA If I don't put in, I can't take out. So if I share with others what I have found in AA I reap the greatest reward, for it is in giving that I receive.
If you have a group, be part of it, don't miss out by not being a vital link don't bury your talent, develop it!

Lapidum Boat Launch Reopens October 25, 2012
The park's Lapidum Boat Launching facility has reopened effective Thursday, October 25, 2012. During the two week closure, excess sediment deposited following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee was removed, allowing boaters to more safely launch from the facility. An additional, brief closure is anticipated in the next 12 months to complete the removal of sediment. A mechanical breakdown of equipment forced the crew to cease work while the equipment was repaired. Every effort will be made to minimize public impacts with the future closure.

After spending seven seasons at Texas Tech, Curry was hired, introduced, completed her staff and signed two recruits all within a month earlier this summer. Curry is charged with rebuilding a program that hasn't made an appearance in the NCAA tournament since 1999.
For her first recruits, Curry landed forward Khadijah Carter, an NJCAA All-American, and guard Karyla Middlebrook, an ESPN Top 100 player.
Carter, a 6-foot-1 post player, averaged 18.5 points and 10.2 rebounds a game as a freshman at Jacksonville (Texas) College. She will have three years of eligibility at Alabama.
Middlebrook, a 5-7 point guard from Blue Springs, Mo., averaged 34.6 points a game during her senior season at Goodrich (Texas) High. Middlebrook is ranked as the No. 22 point guard and No. 81 overall player in the 2013 class by ESPN.
"We know we needed an immediate impact and some help quickly. It was really late and for us to be able to do that, but that is a credit to the coaches," Curry said. "To grab one from Missouri and one from Texas shows that we want to keep the best in home and within a 250-mile radius, but we're going to go where we have to go, too."
Carter and Middlebrook will join the Tide's five previous signees: Courtney Hunter, a 5-9 guard from Hoover; Brooksie McGraw, a 6-3 center from Gainesville, Fla.; Kara Rawls, a 6-0 forward from Hoover; Ashley Williams, a 6-0 forward from Covington, Ga.; and Sharin Rivers, a 5-3 point guard from Huntsville, who joins the team after playing two seasons at Shelton State in Tuscaloosa.
For the first time during Curry's 23-year coaching career, coaches are allowed by NCAA rules to work with players for two hours a week and can watch players workout with the strength and conditioning coach for six hours a week for a total of eight weeks. The Tide has already used four of its weeks before taking a break. The Tide will resume practice this week.
Curry has a simple message for the veteran returning players.
"Do what you're suppose to do when you're suppose to do it the way it's suppose to be done, and great things are ahead of us," Curry said. "It starts with their commitment. What you put into something is what you're going to get back. If we can get these kids to understand that, it's a step in the right direction."
Now, Curry is set to hit the recruiting trail throughout July with hopes of selling female high school players on a rebuilding program. Among other things, one area of concern is the fact that top players from Alabama tend to leave the state and play college ball elsewhere. For example, the Crimson Tide hasn't signed a recruit who made the Alabama Sports Writers Association's girls basketball Super Five since 2010, when former coach Wendell Hudson signed Kaneisha Horn and Shafontaye Myers. But Curry is committed to changing this trend.
"It's 24/7 building relationships with their coaches, families and people that are important in their lives," Curry said. "There's no reason in the world that the University of Alabama shouldn't be a place that young women want to go to school and play basketball. Believe me, if they can come to Lubbock, Texas, I bet you I can get them to Tuscaloosa, Ala."
Curry is Tide athletics director Bill Battle's first coaching hire at the university."I didn't want to make a statement. I wanted to hire a good basketball coach and improve our program," Battle said when Curry was introduced. "That's what I think we did. We were fortunate to get somebody of Kristy's caliber to join us here. I think she saw a great challenge and obviously she saw a great athletic department [and] a great university."

Recruiting Scientific Leaders:
The Department of Translational Imaging is committed to the advancement of medical imaging technology to drive innovative diagnostics and therapy for 21st century patient care. The department aims include the development of novel molecular imaging agents and other devices and technologies to diagnose disease, guide procedures, monitor therapeutic response, and treat disease with greater specificity and sensitivity. A multidisciplinary group of highly qualified scientists and researchers in molecular pathology, molecular biology, synthetic chemistry, radiochemistry, image processing, and imaging physics work together as a team to advance imaging technology, focusing on the translation of laboratory breakthroughs into clinical practice. The following are descriptions of the activities in the department:
Molecular Pathology and Biology: This program focuses on characterizing tissues at the molecular level and exploring new gene function. General molecular biology technologies, such as DNA cloning, PCR, Western/Northern blots, antibody phage display library, expression and purification of antibody and its fragments and antibody biological assays are carried out routinely. Team members have expertise in gross and histologic evaluation of clinical tissues, immunohistochemical procedures, laser capture microdissection, and in-situ hybridization.
Bioinformatics: The program focuses on developing advanced computational bioinformatics tools, biomedical imaging informatics tools, and systematic modeling tools for biomarker and drug-target discovery, drug resistance mechanism discovery, and drug delivery studies to improve clinical research. Bioinformatics and data analysis support is also provided for other investigators. The research can be classified into three major categories: bioinformatics, systems biology, and biomedical imaging informatics.
Molecular Probes: This program focuses on synthesis of novel therapeutic and imaging contrast agents for preclinical and clinical studies. The major goals include a) providing approved PET tracers for routine clinical imaging, b) synthesizing experimental imaging agents for clinical trials, and c) developing novel molecular imaging probes. There is expertise in PET, SPECT, optical, MRI, and ultrasound contrast agents as well as nanoparticles for drug delivery and imaging. The team is operating a cGMP laboratory with the capability to produce F-18, O-15, N-13, C-11 and Cu-64 PET tracers for clinical imaging.
Imaging Physics and Processing: This program focuses on developing a novel ultrasound system for delivering high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to facilitate drug delivery and tissue ablation. This section also collaborates with other team members to manage and implement both clinical and animal MRI/MRS research protocols. There is ample experience and expertise in using and developing innovative MR imaging and spectroscopy techniques. Researchers collaborate with other team members to devise, validate and implement new statistical, resolution recovery image reconstruction algorithms and methods for multi-modality image registration in small preclinical models and in humans. The team is also in charge of multi-modality human and small preclinical imaging systems.
Molecular and Multimodality Image Guided Treatment: The opportunities and challenges in the next few decades in biomedical research lie in the incorporation of the knowledge gained from molecular biology with chemistry, physics, engineering, information technology, and nanotechnology to understand pathophysiological complexity and to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The purpose of this initiative is to use molecular imaging techniques plus robotics, image processing, magnetic tracking, and image guided delivery of energy, molecular targeted drugs and other therapeutic agents in personalizing treatment of patients using minimally invasive techniques.

Aspiring bar- and beam-dwellers find supportive instruction at Team Central Gymnastic Academy and Olympiad Gymnastic Training Centers, which mold everyday children into lithe lads and lasses. A wide selection of classes are available for sprouts of all ages. The Tumble Bee program allows wee ones from 18 months to 3 years old to bounce into fitness, and older flip fanatics may start in a beginning boys or girls class, or catapult straight into age-appropriate trampoline and tumbling.
It's hard to be everything to everyone, but Bentley SportsPlex gets close: it's at once a facility for fine arts, tutoring, and an arcade. The family-fun center has bounce houses, a gym, batting cages, and a gymnasium for basketball and dodgeball. Just recently added: a 1200-square foot laser tag arena.
In addition to its family-fun facilities, Bentley SportsPlex aims to be a haven for kids to express themselves. There's a staff of talented professionals on hand that can provide guitar and bass guitar lessons, painting and craft classes, and tutoring services. There's even a theater branch so youngsters can learn how to accurately convey the pathos of what it's like to be grounded.
Since swinging open its doors in 1965, Rock Roll-O-Rena has provided a safe hub for lacing up and rolling around or simply kicking back with friends and family. Second-generation owners Glen and Jo Donna Neifert keep the facility in top shape, sending skaters gliding across the hard maple floor as speakers shell out top 40 tunes.
Off the rink, bleacher seating, a fully stocked concession stand, and arcade games divert attention from unhip physicists lecturing skaters on centripetal force, and air conditioning maintains a cooler atmosphere during the summer months. Dedicated to keeping the community strong, Rock Roll-O-Rena also offers a strong incentive for youngsters to keep up their grades, trading a discount pass for each A on a report card not earned by staining it with alphabet soup.

The new gilded age
Only a few months ago, Joe Hockey launched what his friends at the Australian called a 'bold mission to end [the] culture of handouts'. 'The age of entitlement is over,' Hockey explained. 'The age of personal responsibility has begun.' Barely had the glorious new epoch dawned when we learned that Hockey's offsider, Arthur Sinodinos, sat on a board that casually allocated (as you do) $164,275 on a corporate box at Stadium Australia and $28,738 on limousine hire.

At first I was a little skeptical, but once installed the skepticism disappeared instantly. Light years better than the cheap tuner that was original equipment
I bought this to replace a missing 5th string tuner on an Epiphone 5-string banjo. This unit is slightly oversize, so provided a good, snug fit. The tuner action is very smooth and positive. A great product!
I ordered this tuning peg and it seemed like it was in my mailbox the next day! Great quality and lightning fast shipping!
I am a newbie on the banjo after years 46 yrs of guitar and bass I started with the banjo, the friction tuner on my import was a pain this made it much easier to stay in tune in the 5th string and enjoy
I have used 5 Star tuners on my banjos for years. They are smooth and accurate with no slipping. I only wish they would come with less tacky knobs so I would not have to buy ivoroid knobs seperately every time.
My one year old Rover RB-20 had the fifth peg explode on it during practice one night. I ordered the nickel Five-Star 5th string peg to replace it. It installed easily and works perfectly. I am very happy with the purchase. I only gave it four stars because it is an economy tuner.
nicely engineered & reasonably priced. worth spending the extra money to buy one of the alternate buttons that are available for this type - the standard buttons are a bit clunky.
very smooth operating gears...highest quality. fast installation with the Stew-Mac tapered tool...photos shows one of the optional knobs available

Teal Radiance Save the Date Magnets Good product good prices, the magnet quality and photo turned out really nicely. I like that all the products can be customized with your colors and photos and purchase samples of your actual magnet before deciding. Only downfall...

Premier League
February 4, 2012
- FTFT1Arsenal
- FTFT2Norwich
- FTFT4Stoke
- FTFT5West Brom
- FTFT6Wigan
- FTFT7Man City
Well, well, well. Eight goals in a rather emphatic win, albeit against 10-man Rovers. A hat-trick for Van Persie while a brace from the Ox, who was superb, helped fire the Gunners to a rampant and much-needed win, their first league triumph of 2012. Thanks for joining me. Be sure to join Chris Murphy for chat, goals and updates. I've been James Dall. Cheerio.
FULL-TIME: Arsenal 7-1 Blackburn.
Hanley stumbles on the ball in the centre. Henry scampers clear and passes to Van Persie, who squares it back. The Frenchman shoots, it gets a deflection, and bobbles in. Possibly an OG.
GOAL!!! Henry scores for Arsenal!
One last chance as Benayoun zips a volley into the chest of Robinson.
Cleared by Sagna. Three minutes of added time will be played.
Corner to Blackburn.
More red seats emerging as fans head home early. It is a right arse to get out of the Emirates, but stay until the end this time around, surely?
Rare attack from Blackburn but the ball fails to stick with Modeste.
Van Persie goes down in the box, but nothing doing from the ref. The correct call, I'd say.
Vermaelen is carded for a niggle on Modeste.
Kean is looking pensive on the touchline. Haters will be out in force post this match.
Henry hits a left-footed effort in a bid to catch out Robinson, but the ball skips out of play. Might have been an attempt at a pass actually.
Like a training match now. Attack v defence.
Arsenal probing. Blackburn have men behind the ball, protecting what is left of pride.
So close to seven as Henry threads in Rosicky, who wants to pull the trigger but under pressure Dann does enough to close the door.
Very minor tussle between Dann and Henry. Little in it, in truth.
Kean will likely get a bashing for this, but he hardly could have done anything about Givet's red card.
Robinson truly must dread facing Arsenal.
Henry surges forward and beats one, but he cannot beat another and the move breaks down. Groans from the home fans.
Modeste has offered very little in the solo role. A tough job but he has not even attempted to be a menace.
Van Persie sends in a cross but Hanley heads away impressively.
Great cross in from Sagna is hooked away by Hanley. Arsenal are pushing for seven, which would spark clichéd headlines about heaven.
No Park, then, as Benayoun comes on for Song.
Where's Park? Perfect game for him, you would think.
Sagna is playing at left-back with Vermaelen in his more natural place of centre-back.
Henry is of course after his first league goal since returning to the club on loan.
Sagna and Henry replace the brilliant Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Koscielny.
Changes are imminent...
The Ox is having an outstanding game.
A corner finds Walcott at the back post and the England man tries a dipping volley. But it doesn't dip enough.
Still no subs from Wenger, which is odd.
Fans cheering every pass now. So much for the alleged bin bags.
Hoillett looks set to race through but Koscielny bursts off the turf to mop up.
Awful, awful marking from Blackburn. Coquelin easily picks out the Dutchman with a low cross, and RVP bangs in with his right foot.
GOAL!!! Van Persie hat-trick!
Vermaelen looks on, by the way.
Terrific work from the Ox, who makes a mockery of his markers before dinking one to the back post. Arteta smashes in a first-time volley, but the ball zooms over.
Blackburn haven't given up. But, wait, Arsenal spring clear...
Pedersen has a chance to net another free-kick, but this time he only finds the wall.
Vermaelen is limping. Worry around the Emirates.
There are more goals in this game, surely. Van Persie will surely come off shortly, with Park of Henry likely candidates to replace him.
It's 5-1. A mauling. Walcott worms his way in from the right. He is surrounded by Blackburn players but sees the Ox lurking at the back stick. A short pass is played and the youngster buries coolly.
GOAL!!! The Ox scores another!
The Blackburn fans look, understandably, utterly miserable.
Stat: Paul Robinson has now conceded 57 goals against Arsenal in the Premier League.
A corner is poorly cleared by Blackburn and Koscielny's toe is enough to get the ball to Arteta, who lashes low first time and fires past Robinson.
GOAL!!! Arteta scores for Arsenal!
Nearly an own goal as Hanley stretches following a whipped cross from Walcott. The ball is deflected out for a corner.
Henry is warming-up. The home fans are singing his name.
Decent football from Blackburn, there. They popped it round nicely before a shot from the right was weak and the keeper got his body behind it. Encouraging for the ten-man visitors though.
Coquelin sends in a delicious cross on the right. No-one there though to attack it.
No changes for either side.
Second half: Arsenal get the second period started.
The second half is about to get under way. Another four goals would be most welcome.
What a peculiar half. Arsenal dominated throughout, and went in front as early as the second minute via the Walcott-Van Persie combo, the latter scoring. But, out of nowhere, Pedersen fired in a glorious free-kick. Then, Arsenal rallied, with Van Persie scoring a second, thanks to another assist from Walcott. The Ox soon got in on the act, latching onto a delicious pass from RVP, to score his first league goal for the Gunners. Oh, and Givet got sent off. Mountain to climb for Kean and his men.
HALF-TIME: Arsenal 3-1 Blackburn.
Walcott continues to struggle when he has a decision to make. When there is one option, and he has to deliver instantaneously, he impresses. But other than that, there are issues.
Ah, almost four. Vermaelen strikes it after arriving at the back post. He hammers at goal, but the ball hammers back off the post and out.
Wenger must surely be weighing up whether to rest Van Persie in the second half.
Five minutes of added time will be played.
Dunn is replaced by Hanley.
Van Persie was in pain. He is back on though. The fans cheer.
The Frenchman is sent off after a two-footed challenge on Van Persie. It was a scissors motion from the defender. Had to go.
Red card for Givet!
Arsenal smell a fourth, but Blackburn do look capable of springing clear and netting a second.
A first league goal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Van Persie plays a very cute through ball which the youngster gets a toe to. He rounds Robinson before tapping in.
GOAL!!! The Ox makes it 3-1 to Arsenal!
That's a lovely goal. Arsenal work it out from the back and in a flash they are attacking Robinson's goal. Song threads in Walcott down the right, who squares for RVP. The Dutchman lashes in from close range. 2-1.
GOAL!!! Van Persie scores for Arsenal!
Confirmation of the sub now, with Orr on for Lowe.
Very iffy goalkeeping from Szczęsny as he looks to claim a high free-kick, but the flag is up for offside.
A sub is announced over the speaker system, but it has been delayed as Lowe looks to run it off.
Seen a replay of the Rosicky challenge. Lowe got to the ball first and the Czech's momentum carried him through onto his ankle. Looks a bad injury, although he has now just got to his feet and is being helped to the touchline. Probably should have been a yellow.
Lowe is receiving treatment, with the stretcher out, following a foul from Rosicky. No card brandished.
1-1, then. And you just felt it when Blackburn won that free-kick. Pedersen trotted up and executed a wicked free-kick that Szczęsny got a hand to but could not prevent from dropping into the top corner. Like a rocket it was.
GOAL!!! Pedersen scores for Blackburn!
Free-kick to Blackburn in a dangerous position...
Van Persie wriggles on the edge of the box and tries a right-footed effort, which he gets a little wrong and the shot drops a few feet wide.
Quite a few empty seats at the Emirates today.
Arsenal work their way down the left and win another corner. The ball is whipped in but Blackburn keep things tight to ensure the attack fizzles out.
Koscielny reads the game well as Blackburn probe forward.
Robin van Persie celebrates with Theo Walcott after opening the scoring
Nzonzi is in the book for a late challenge on Rosicky, who is in some discomfort.
Very nearly 2-0. Mertesacker nods the corner back across and there is a stretch from Koscielny. The ball ends up on top of the roof of the net.
ANOTHER corner to Arsenal. Pressure mounting as they push for a second.
The corner is only half-cleared and Rosicky tries his luck from 20 yards out. The swerving shot has Robinson scrambling but it zips past the post.
Corner to Arsenal after tricky work from the Ox on the right.
Blackburn finally enjoy some possession. But they are forced back to Robinson.
Arsenal have the ball back though.
Walcott's cross is deflected to Rosicky, whose scissor kick hits a defender. Arteta follows up the rebound but drags it well wide. Ultimately, it was poor decision making from Walcott.
Blackburn are struggling to get near the ball at the moment, without fouling that is.
Excellent tracking by Arteta is greeted with applause. Real chance for Arsenal to make a statement of intent here following the early goal.
A ball is clipped over the Blackburn defence and Walcott looks to nip in, but Givet is across to cover and clear.
It's a little flat but Mertesacker almost gets a head to it. Goal kick.
Free-kick to Arsenal in an interesting area after Song was felled by Nzonzi. RVP to curl a cross in...
Both players are up and on their feet. Should be ok.
Modeste is booked for the challenge. Seems harsh, as it was just his momentum which took him into the goalkeeper.
Pedersen ships a ball into the path of Modeste, and the forward throws a boot at it before the ball bounces back off Szczesny. Modeste seems to have hurt both the goalkeeper and himself.
Van Persie drives the corner into the centre but it's headed clear.
Walcott now wins a corner. Arsenal have had 80% possession so far.
Walcott's cross is deflected out of play for a throw in, while Olsson looks to have taken a small knock.
A neat piece of play sees Arsenal work Oxlade-Chamberlain into some space on the left of the area. He drives the ball across the face of goal but there's nowhere there to divert home.
Arteta goes down under a challenge from Modeste in the Blackburn half.
Van Persie receives the ball in the area, but as he chests down the ball is snatched away.
The Ox is looking lively as another attempted throughball is cut out.
Pederson gets away down the right and floats in a decent cross, but it's headed clear and Arsenal counter-attack. Oxlade-Cahmberlain makes the space, but he pulls his shot well wide of the goal.
Van Persie receives the ball in plenty of space down the right flank, but he knocks it back for Coquelin and the cross is cleared.
Oxlade-Chamberlain then threatens to cause problems down the left flank, but this time Blackburn get it away. Great start for Arsenal, but Blackburn are in a state here.
Robin van Persie is left with the simplest of finishes as Coquelin slips the ball through to Walcott after a poor clearance, and the England winger squares to leave the Dutchman an open goal.
The Arsenal fans are in good voice despite the frustrations of late.
KICK OFF Modeste gets the game underway.
Blackburn, of course, beat Arsenal 4-3 at Ewood Park.
Both sides are in desperate need of a win, with Arsenal in danger of losing touch with the top four and Blackburn in danger of losing their Premier League status.
Blackburn: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Givet, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Petrovic, Nzonzi, Hoilett, Dunn, Modeste. Subs: Bunn, Formica, Orr, Rochina, Goodwillie, Vukcevic, Hanle.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Coquelin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Van Persie. Subs: Fabianski, Sagna, Arshavin, Benayoun, Ramsey, Park, Henry.

Government, Global Poverty and God's Mission in the
An Evangelical Declaration
Government, Global Poverty and God's Mission in the World emerged from a two-day consultation sponsored by Bread for the World Institute, Micah Challenge, and the Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College in 2010.
The purpose of the consultation was to strengthen the church's understanding of how Christians should approach, inform, and develop their positions on U.S. foreign assistance policy.
The declaration expresses many shared convictions about the proper role of government in empowering those who live in poverty. It also invites evangelicals and others to reflect and act on the issues addressed in the booklet.

text: A gently satirical Anglo-American historical entertainment. In the summer of 1939, King George VI (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) visit F.D.R.'s ancestral home to beg for support as Britain prepares to fight Germany. Their majesties are required to eat something called a "hot dog" and to watch an Indian beat a tomtom. They also bear witness to the peculiar sexual arrangements in the house, in which Roosevelt (Bill Murray), carried from room to room by a servant, appears to be having relations with his secretary, Missy LeHand (Elizabeth Marvel), and also with his distant cousin Daisy Suckley (Laura Linney). The playwright Richard Nelson, basing his script on Suckley's diaries, makes her the narrator and heroine, but unfortunately she's of very little interest. Murray displays his teeth, throws back his head, laughs constantly, and speaks in Hudson Valley patrician tones. He gets F.D.R.'s charm and the manipulative cynicism underneath it, but the script doesn't offer a suggestion as to the President's greatness. It's a pleasant, capable, rather trivial movie. With Olivia Williams, as the free-talking Eleanor Roosevelt. Directed by Roger Michell.

It's a clean place, metro just around the corner. Furniture a bit old fashion, but the bed was good. The people were not too friendly, but I think they weren't Italians and therefore not speaking Italian very good.Read More

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert wants her brand-new administration to speak with one voice.
So in a Wednesday memo to city department heads, Stothert ordered that no "department directors or any staff member of any city department" speak to the news media without prior review or approval from Stothert's chief of staff or spokeswoman.
"There should never be confusion or uncertainty regarding city policies and procedures," said Stothert's memo, titled "Directive — Media Interaction.''
Heads of the city's fire and police unions wonder how Stothert's order affects their members or even their own roles as labor union leaders.
"It also raises the question," said Police Sgt. John Wells, union head, "what are they trying to hide?"
Top staff in the Mayor's Office said the policy was simply designed to clear communication lines during Stothert's transition. The new mayor has worked diligently to control her message since launching her mayoral campaign.
"We're not telling (employees), 'You can't talk,' " said Marty Bilek, Stothert's chief of staff. "We're just saying, 'Before you do, would you give us a call in the Mayor's Office?' Just give us a buzz and let us know what you're going to say."
Carrie Murphy, a former television journalist who served her first day Wednesday as Stothert's communication director, said the policy applied only to city employees who were on duty and discussing city policies.
She said the policy would not affect how fire or police personnel speak to the news media after, say, a traffic accident or house fire.
"This applies to department heads in matters of policy and the administration, not things like the news release you get in your newsroom," Murphy said.
"If anybody would violate the policy or break the rule, that would all be handled case-by-case," she said.
Bilek said the administration has discussed the directive since taking office Monday. He declined to say the policy was temporary, but he said it could be.
"It's designed to resolve a problem that's probably only going to exist in the near term. That's just because we're in a period of transition, and (city staff) need a chance to interact so we're all aware of what the new mayor's philosophies are."
Steve LeClair, president of the Omaha firefighters union, dismissed the memo with an allusion to the heated mayor's race. Firefighters backed Stothert's opponent, former Mayor Jim Suttle.
"I have immediate concern that a mayor who campaigned on a platform of, among other things, transparency in government has taken this position of 'circle the wagons and everyone keep your mouths shut' within 48 hours of being sworn in," LeClair wrote in an email to city lawyers, Fire Chief Mike McDonnell and three reporters.
Such strongly worded exchanges between union members and top city officials aren't unusual or without controversy.
In a 2009 ruling, the Nebraska Supreme Court said a union newspaper column that criticized then-Mayor Mike Fahey and Police Chief Tom Warren as "petty criminals" was protected speech. Sgt. Kevin Housh was fired over his 2005 column but reinstated after agreeing to publicly apologize and drop a federal lawsuit.
Bilek said Stothert's order did not affect a long-stated campaign pledge of government transparency.
"She plans on having a very transparent city government," Bilek said. "I believe that you're going to have greater access to government than you ever have. Just check with us before you talk, that's all we're saying."

Having healthy relationships with your fellow man can help you live twice as long. Here's how to reconnect
Make good use of technology. With families in a constant state of flux these days, we tend to lose track of one another except at holidays. Yet holidays are a pretty stressful time to reconnect, says Dr. Hallowell. So take a few minutes each month to "reach out and touch" relatives scattered around the country. What are your twin cousins in South Carolina up to this week? How's your elderly aunt's arthritis? Pick up the phone. At less than 10 cents a minute, it's a cheap way to connect. You can also write or e-mail. There's nothing more cheery than hearing "You've got mail!" when you log on.
Make peace with the family jerk. There's one in every family—the jerk who, a zillion years ago, either...
Turn your workplace into a community. Nothing can reduce stress at work as well as a feeling of camaraderie. Think of ways to bring your coworkers together—then take the initiative, and make it happen. Roberta, the office manager at one disconnected office where I worked, once bought three half-gallons of low-fat ice cream and frozen yogurt, rounded up some plastic spoons, paper cups, and napkins, dumped them in the office conference area, then put out the word on office e-mail: An ice-cream social is taking place in 5 minutes—no take-outs allowed. Everybody came. And everybody connected. In fact, Roberta's ploy to connect her coworkers worked so well that ice-cream socials became a company tradition.
Just do it. "Barge right in, and open the door," says Dr. Hallowell. "If you think about it too much, you'll put it off for another 5 years. So pick up the phone, write a letter, go see him. Whatever it takes, just do it."
Get to know your ancestors. Visiting the cemetery where your beloved relatives are buried—especially with your children-can connect you both to the past and with your family today. If you have some spare time and a computer, you can start a genealogical search for your ancestors. A friend of mine did that and increased her family circle; she found an uncle and cousins she didn't know she had, and they've all become very close.

The Historic Clare City Bakery, now known as Cops & Doughnuts Bakery has been a scratch bakery since it opened in 1896. Come enjoy our bakery treats 7 days a week. In the heart of Downtown Clare, Michigan
OMG! This place rocks!!! The custard filled chocolate donut was HUGE and so heavy! I had to share it with my husband but he had the fritter and was filling up fast! Coffee was good. The store was AMAZING! Had to get the insulated mug, pin, stickers and of course, a t-shirt! Loved the cop patches and other stuff in the store. Just can't wait to get back. Wish I had taken some for "on the road"! Must try the bacon topped maple donut next time! I'd be over 200lbs if I lived close by!!!
Are you kidding me? Spice cookies (orange frosting) the size of coffee saucers, cherry or apple fritters the size of a small plate, cinnamon rolls the size of the Hulk's fists. This place is amazing, and the corresponding price is amazing. My favorite might still be the eclair-shaped donut with maple frosting and topped with 2 strips of bacon. Yes, bacon. I get ADD, and can't decide what I want, everything is so good. I'm even interested in trying some of the basic diner food they have off on the side, made to order. Great place, I always make this a stop off point when we head up North.
We heard about the story on how the place was saved from closing down, and the baked goods were good. I stopped on our way down state one time, now its a requirement! Anytime we go north or back home, we have to hit this place. The small pies, doughnuts, fritters, everything is really good. The cinnamon rolls are not only good, they are HUGE! Very friendly staff, and now they serve food too in the diner. Looking forward to trying that next.

(Can be used in addition with the Brother Max 3 Combi Bib Set)
Order today for Monday delivery
Brother Max make everyday tasks simpler and less time consuming by providing parents and their little ones with easy to use products.
The 3 Combi Bibs have ultra-premium soft, leak proof cotton tops, with a plastic lining, that are especially comfortable for little ones.
The 3 cotton tops are for 3 meals to last the whole day and for an easier life the cotton tops are washing machine and tumble drier friendly. The plastic lining even catches liquids inside food, helping to keep little ones clean, dry and comfortable.
I bought these instead of the bulkier plastic ones for weaning. They're obviously not wipe clean, but they fit better and I just rinse them off after use.
Great you can buy replacement bibs, I used the first ones loads with my first son, so it's good to have some nice new white ones for my second son. Good to use as dribble bibs too.
OK. As described, a waterproof bib, with comfortable topping. Nice shape around neck & shoulders.
Ok product - only been used infrequently so cannot comment on some things
The only problem I have with these bibs is that they are not very big in length or around the neck. My twins are just turning 6 months and my boy won't be able to use them for much longer cause they are too tight for his neck( he is an average sized baby). If this is fixed they are brilliant and I love the fact you can attach the rubber par when they are old if necessary

"They made one more play than we did," Mountaineer head coach Dana Holgorsen said. "The kids played hard. How many losses like this do we have to go through? I don't know."
It was West Virginia's fifth-consecutive setback -- the program's worst losing streak since 1986. It was WVU's third home loss in a row, the program's longest home skid since its last three in Morgantown in 1990.
Pick your moment. West Virginia had every opportunity to win this one over the No. 13 Sooners, but just couldn't put it away.
A missed extra-point kick from Tyler Bitancurt, which came after a third quarter touchdown made the score 38-30, loomed large in the outcome. The Mountaineers had a pair of 2-point conversion tries to make up the deficiency, but both failed -- a pass to Stedman Bailey fell incomplete on the first; a Geno Smith scramble didn't get to the goal line on the second.
"How do you miss an extra point? It's inexcusable," Holgorsen said.
That allowed Oklahoma to take the lead with a last-minute drive against the struggling Mountaineer defense. On fourth-and-3 from the WVU 5-yard line, Sooners signal-caller Landry Jones connected with receiver Kenny Stills for a touchdown, Stills' fourth of the night and Jones' sixth.
Most importantly, though, OU left only 24 seconds on the clock. With West Virginia already having exhausted its three timeouts, coaches couldn't reasonably hand the ball off to Austin. The ensuing drive got to midfield, but Smith's desperate heave on the last play fell incomplete short of the goal line.
"Tough loss," Holgorsen said. "We've got to regroup."
But there were other moments that mattered beyond Bitancurt's missed kick. The offense stalled in the red zone, getting stuffed on a fourth-and-1 carry by Andrew Buie. A field goal could have been enough.
Holgorsen called timeouts before a pair of 2-point conversion tries: one by Oklahoma's offense and one by his own. That limited the offense's options on the final possession.
And then there was the defense, victimized again by a Big 12 offense. Oklahoma's numbers weren't quite as gaudy as WVU's, but they were still enough: 662 yards, 8.1 yards per play, 9-of-15 on third downs and 50 points.
"You get in these tight games and it's who is going to make those plays at the end of the game to get the win," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "Fortunately, we were able to do it this time, execute well when we had to, and put it in there at the end."
It spoiled an explosive effort from Austin, who was simply unstoppable. He set a Big 12 record for all-purpose yardage (572), finishing with 82 receiving yards to go with his 344 rushing yards and 146 kickoff return yards. Oklahoma (8-2, 6-1 Big 12) simply wasn't prepared for the senior to see so much action in the backfield.
"I didn't think I was going to get it 21 times," Austin said. "I always told them that's what I did in high school, and I still have it a little bit."
Both Holgorsen and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson indicated the position move will likely stick moving forward.
"Sure. Why not?" Holgorsen said. "He played a lot at receiver too. Moving him around and giving him some different matchups was probably a pretty good idea."
Receiver Stedman Bailey added 205 yards and four touchdowns on 13 catches for the Mountaineers (5-5, 2-5). Oklahoma's defense had only allowed three passing touchdowns all year coming into the game.
For the Sooners, Jones threw for 554 yards and six touchdowns, completing 38 of 51 passes. Damien Williams added 92 rushing yards on 22 carries. Four OU receivers had 90 or more yards, led by Jalen Saunders with 123 and a score on seven grabs.
Once 5-0 and in the nation's top, West Virginia must now win one of its last two games to simply achieve bowl eligibility. Its next chance comes Friday at Iowa State.

Project Instructions
One day in advance, make flowers (detail in following steps). Prepare royal icing and tint green to match Sugar Pearls.
Use tip 103 and green royal icing to make one wild rose for each treat. Attach waxed paper square to nail with icing. Use tip 103 and hold bag at a 45° angle at 3:00 (9:00). Touch center of nail with wide end of tip; narrow end should be just slightly above nail surface. Begin at center of nail and squeeze out first petal, turning nail 1/5 turn as you move tip out toward edge of nail. Relax pressure as you return to center of nail, curving tip slightly upward to create a cupped shape. Stop squeezing as wide end touches center of nail and lift up. Repeat four more times to complete the flower.
Use tip 104 and green royal icing to top each with a ribbon rose. Hold decorating bag straight up in one hand, the flower nail in the other hand. End of tip should be slightly above the center of the flower nail. Using firm, steady pressure, squeeze out a heavy base of icing, keeping end of the tip buried in it as you squeeze. Start to lift tip higher and decrease pressure when base fills out the smallest circle on the template. Stop pressure, pull up and lift away. Rose base should be 1½ times as high as the opening of tip 104. Position bag so wide end of tip is down and the narrow end is tilted in toward rose base. Insert tip into rose base about halfway from the top. Squeeze bag, rotate flower nail and move tip up until the ribbon of icing overlaps itself at the top of the rose base. Move tip down to the bottom of base. Stop, lift tip away. For first row, position bag so wide end of tip is down and touching base at or slightly below midpoint, narrow end straight up. While squeezing, turn nail one full rotation. Stop pressure, lift tip away. Second row, position bag so wide end of tip is down and touching base directly beneath the first petal, narrow end angled out slightly. While squeezing, turn nail one full rotation. Stop pressure, lift tip away. Third and fourth rows, repeat same as second row, adjusting the narrow end out a little farther each time.
Let icing flowers dry 24 hours.
Bake and cool cupcakes.
Prepare buttercream icing and tint green to match Sugar Pearls. Use spatula to ice tops smooth with green buttercream icing.
Use rotary cutter to cut edible paper rectangles, 4"x1". Cut a v-shaped notch at each end, 3/8" deep. Position on cupcake. Attach flower to ribbon with buttercream icing.
Position Sugar Pearls.
*Combine Kelly Green with Leaf Green for green shown.
You can change icing colors and Sugar Pearls to match the cupcakes to your specific color scheme.
Adult supervision is required at all times. Oven should only be used by an adult.

Supporters not surprised Tampa domestic partnership registry passes unanimously
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Tampa City Council unanimously approved a domestic partnership registry at that meeting today. A handful of speakers on the topic thanked council members in advance for passing a measure they see as a step toward equality.
Tampa resident Ed Lally is excited to have his partner home from the hospital. At the first reading of the domestic partnership ordinance, he told council members that it cost him a lot of money to have privileges that aren't offered to same sex couples whose marriages are not legally recognized. Today, Lally said he was excited that the ordinance would be passed.
"After living here for 33 years, my partner and I of 34-years are proud to be part of Tampa because at every opportunity to embrace diversity and fairness the city council has always stepped up to the plate and I want to thank you in advance for that."
Once in place, unmarried couples will be able to register with the city of Tampa as domestic partners. That will give them some of the same rights married couples enjoy like being able to obtain information when a significant other is in an accident and to visit them in the hospital. And council member Lisa Montelione reminded people that the ordinance isn't intended to just help same-sex couples.
"My fiancé and I have been together, it'll be ten years in November and I've always said that I'll be the first one to register and I know that people are going to wig out – are going to fight to see who goes first, but I just have to go to the front desk here. I think I'm going to be first."
And also today, St. Pete City Council unanimously voted to begin the process of drafting its own domestic partnership registry. Staff is now reviewing the language in Tampa's registry for possible use there.comments powered by Disqus

IF that event is significantly different from the primary event, then yes, I'd like to consider it. And yes, that would apply IF Spotakova were to run 11.26 in addition to being the top JTer.
Being top 100 in the world in an entirely different event shows that someone is an overall great athlete, and it's called Athlete of the year after all.

Supporters of the measure say it would save the state thousands of dollars in Calhoun County every election year — and hundreds of thousands if adopted statewide. But the measure's chief critic says there's no need to change a system that so far has run without a hitch.
"Why would you want to fix something that's not broken?" said Calhoun County Circuit Clerk Ted Hooks.
Under state law, Hooks acts as the county's absentee ballot manager. His office is responsible for processing absentee ballot requests, as well as the completed ballots as they come in.
He's also paid for his work. Different counties offer different levels of pay for clerks acting as ballot managers, but in Calhoun County the pay is $175 per day. With absentee ballots going out 45 days before the election, and every day until the election counting as a day of work, that's about $8,000 in extra pay for the average election.
The amendment on the Calhoun County ballot would change that, taking responsibility for absentee ballots out of the circuit clerk's office and giving the job to the Calhoun County Commission.
According to the website of the Alabama Secretary of State, the circuit clerk is usually the designated absentee ballot manager for his or her county.
Calhoun County Administrator Ken Joiner said the system needs to change.
"We've continued to look past things like this that are absolutely wrong, while we're cutting programs that are needed," he said. "We need money for law enforcement and for mental health."
Joiner said state officials have estimated that ballot-counting costs add up to $300,000 statewide per election, with the state paying for four elections this year.
Hooks said it isn't about the cost per vote counted. He said it's about making the absentee ballot accessible, and about giving one person the responsibility for making sure that ballot gets counted.
"This is a highly controversial voting issue," he said of absentee voting. "It seems to make headlines every year. I'm proud to say that we've never had a problem."
Hooks is quick to point out that the vote won't affect him personally. He has announced that he will retire at the end of his current term.
Both candidates for his seat say they'd like to do away with the clerk's position as manager of absentee ballots.
"I think it should be transferred to the County Commission or the sheriff," said Democratic candidate Missy Hall, a legal assistant from Oxford. She said that staff in the clerk's office, who do most of the processing, are overtasked due to budget cuts and don't need the job of processing ballots.
"As far as the law is concerned, we're probably one of the most backward states," said Republican candidate Eli Henderson, who now serves as a member of the Calhoun County Commission. Henderson said the appointment of the circuit clerk may have made sense when the constitution was written, but now the job could be done more cheaply, or for free, by the commission.
Both Henderson and Joiner said the county does not yet have a system in place for processing absentee ballots. Both said the job could likely be done by a temporary worker or volunteer.
Hooks said, though, there's more to the job than most people know — including issues with military ballots, college students' ballots and other situations. He said it also takes a great deal of time as deadlines approach, leading to workdays that run as long as 9:30 p.m. He said the amendment was flawed because it leaves the circuit clerk on other election-related boards, and because it doesn't specify a single person to be responsible for the ballot.
Joiner said he has seen the ballot-processing operation first-hand. When the circuit clerk is up for election himself, he must appoint someone else to manage the counting of the ballots. One year, Joiner said, Hooks chose someone in Joiner's office.
"It takes about 15 minutes per ballot," he said. "It's not all that difficult."
The amendment is a local amendment, which means that even though it's a change to the state constitution, only Calhoun County voters will get to weigh in on the measure. But the amendment's supporters say that if the measure passes, other counties may follow suit.
"I think there will be a domino effect," Joiner said.
